21. Using PLEXTALK as a CD or memory card drive.
You can connect PLEXTALK to a PC using the Universal Serial Bus (USB) 1.1
interface to use it as an external CD-R/CD-RW drive or as an external
memory card drive. The factory default setting is for PLEXTALK to be used
as an external CD-R/CD-RW drive. If, at any time, you wish to install the
PLEXTALK Recording Software (PRS), you must have first connected
PLEXTALK to the PC on which you want to install the software. This
chapter describes how to connect and disconnect PLEXTALK to computers
that have a range of operating systems and how to switch PLEXTALK from
acting as an external CD-RW drive to an external memory card drive.
NOTE: It is not possible to use PLEXTALK as an external CD-R/CD-RW drive
and an external memory card drive at the same time.
